BBC Radio Drama 👉 "They Entered The Antarctic Night… And The Tent Vanished"

Three men leave the safety of Captain Scott’s Antarctic base and walk directly into the blackest winter on Earth. Their mission sounds almost absurd: travel more than sixty miles through permanent darkness to collect emperor penguin eggs for scientific research. But the cold soon becomes something beyond human endurance. Their clothes freeze solid within seconds. Their teeth crack. Their sleeping bags fill with ice. Hidden crevasses open beneath their feet, while temperatures fall so low that even metal can burn exposed skin. Then a hurricane tears away their tent. With almost no fuel, no shelter, and no realistic hope of rescue, the three explorers lie buried beneath the snow and begin to accept that they may never return. Based on one of Antarctic exploration’s most extraordinary journeys, this gripping BBC Radio Drama is a brutal story of courage, friendship and survival at the absolute limit of human endurance. #BBCRadioDrama #Antarctica #SurvivalDrama #PolarExploration #TrueStory #AudioDrama #blackice
